    What I find even more beautiful about Navier-Stokes is that when actually think about it, it arises in a relatively "simple" manner, being Newton's Second Law applied to fluid mechanics, but it still so incredibly difficult. Nonlinear parcial differential equations are so rough to handle, but at the same time they appear in so many places in the study of nature, I guess this is a testament to just how complex nature really is. Anyway, very good video, and a question for you, do you plan on covering any other specific differential equations, and if yes, which ones?

    • @Aleph0
      @Aleph0  4 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      Couldn't agree more! The simplest equation becomes unsolvable once applied to fluids. It's crazy that we can't solve even the most basic non-linear PDE's; it shows just how far we need to go in understanding nature mathematically. I might make a video on some other DEs: likely the Einstein Field Equations of General Relativity (tensor calculus on curved manifolds, very interesting), or maybe the three-body problem. Thanks for the comment!

    Maybe interesting to know: In CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) we solve it by averaging the turbulente fluctuation of the velocity. Therefore different turbulence models are being used and improved every year. That's why flow simulation, around airplanes for example, is possible. So we can't solve it at all, but we became really good at simulating it!

    Though I do love this video, I find it important to point out that ketchup, in particular, is not well described by Navier-Stokes since it is non-Newtonian (i.e. the constant viscosity mu does not apply since shear rate is dependent on the magnitude of shear stress in the fluid). You would need to use the more general Cauchy Momentum Equation for the ketchup case.

    2:02 "If we just deleted the bad term"
    Oh, the horrible mindset of mathematicians. In reality, the convection term is the very core of the fluid which should never be removed in any cases, and the one term that could be ignored is diffusion term (Euler's eq.).
    Of course I'm not complaining. It's just that these kinds of approachs are almost heretic, that I'm glad to see this differences between people with different backgrounds. :) I mean, for example, small-scale turbulences will be dissipated very quickly (and transferred to heat) thus there exists a lower limit to sizes of "physical" turbulences. So, these "making convection irrelevant" mindset is impractical to physical applications. Nevertheless, it's good to have a good foundation...

Also the physical background for viscosity term is far weaker in comparison to the advection/convection term, which is embedded in the very core of the laws of motion.
      On the other hand, the advection/convection term would change the class of the equation, which seems far more difficult approach. Of course, for example, if one has limited the problem so that for ANY phenomenon to be LARGER than a certain scale along all directions, you can transform to the frame of reference to make v~0, but this has a very limited application in terms of numerical calculation, since 1. This transform is pointwise while we need to solve for every point in space, 2. all "interesting" phenomena of fluid dynamics arises when v is large (or Reynolds number is high).
      And frankly, one can find the term (v).( dv/dx ) everywhere in different fields of physics, so, solving Navier-Stokes is good, but giving a recipe to solve ANY equation involving that specific term is far better and a thing I'd like to see soon.

    What is meant by a “solution”? You mean getting a *closed-form* solution? Many equations have solutions that do not have a closed form and can be approximated arbitrarily closely using numerical methods. Are you saying we don’t even know whether non-closed-
    form solutions exist?

    • @pierrecurie
      @pierrecurie 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Special cases aside, closed form solutions are clearly not possible. The millennium prize is asking for the _existence_ of "smooth" (and prob other conditions as well) solutions. Smooth is probably asking for finite L2 norm or some such - eg when you spill a glass of water, the energy doesn't suddenly all concentrate into heating some tiny region to 9999C.
      There's also a constraint on the assumptions - you start with "smooth" initial conditions. Otherwise, if you start with singular conditions, it shouldn't be a surprise you to encounter singular conditions later.

  • @AlexAnteroLammikko

    Im not a physicist at all, I don't even study physics, but work in healthcare and have a question on what an "initial condition" is and what "all eternity" means in the context of these equations. I assume this is undergrad level stuff (not the solving the equation, but those particular terms) so am sure some people in the comment can help.
    Basically, if I have a container of water like a bucket, and the water is settled, and thenI punch it, there is now an "initial condition". But any calculation of the resolving of that reaction can't, and won't, take into consideration other outside acts like me throwing in a brick or tipping the water over or rain occurring.
    Now lets take the Ocean, or the "air" (the various spheres the names of which I can't recall now but all of which interact with each other). All of these are complex systems with various dynamic entities in them. The Ocean isn't a closed system but even if it was and no water escaped and no additional creatures went in, the existence of animals that can "randomly" change directions would greatly interfere with the calculations as they create new flow.
    So is the equation assuming a perfect closed system and, if so, what value, if any, does solving the equation have for the "real world" (I have a friend in mathematics who hates the " real world" question but I am not in mathematics so ill ask it :p )

  • @markattila9835
    @markattila9835 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    No need to go as far as fluids to find impossible to solve equations, try the 3 body problem or the simple dual/triple pendulum. Such a complex thing as a fluid will go chaotic very quickly. the main problem seems to be that equations have only two sides, however in reality inside a fluid there are infinite many equations that "equal" one another simultaneously. This sort of "dependency" causes chaotic evolution very quickly. Chaotic only because in reality the evolution of systems is always chaotic except in the quantum world. Only in our equations does it seem that things are deterministic. Our equations model reality in the simplest cases very well. You have the best videos on these subjects, great work!

    Loved the video! This made me realize that there isn't much vulgarisation content on youtube about functional analysis and pde theory compared to topics like algebra and topology. I'm guessing that might be because the subjects seem to deal on the surface with relatively easy topics like multivariable calculus, and it feels hard to go into more details without getting into the specifics of various functional spaces. That's a shame because these are the fields I study and it sometimes kind of feel like they're unappreciated by "pure" mathematicians.
    If you want to talk more about this kind of stuff, I think it would be really cool to have a video on distribution theory. I feel like the concept might be general enough to fit into one video, more so than sobolev spaces for example.

    Professor Terrance Tao wrote on his blog something to the effect of (I'm paraphrasing here): "It's an observed fact that fluids and gasses don't randomly spit out particles moving at near light speed". But of course whether that means that we should expect singularity-free solutions to the equation is another question entirely. As I recall, Tao's work on the equation has been mostly in the direction of proving divergence.

    Good video. As physicist I can say what NS means. Mathematicians see equation but do not understand and do not care about it smeaning. It is not about vorticity or non-linearity - it is about most dense packing of energy :-). So NS is closer to oranges packaging that to what god thinks ( who cares). When diffusion is much smaller than inertial terms - fluids require new regime to store excess of energy ( packed in combination of velocity or pressure). Greetings from Australia.

    I am pretty much certain that we WILL solve this problem some day. A few of the other milenium problem i have very little hope for (P vs NP for exmple i think might be unsolvable). But navie stokes is like a culmination for our centuries of studies of differential equations. We still have not yet developed the right tools, but i am certain we are not that far, probably not in my lifetime, but i am sure at some point in the future the key insight will appear (Like what the fourrier series once was in the context of heath and laplace equations) that will gives us a new perspective. Differential equations are probably the most studied subject in the history of mathematics of the last 3 centuries
